This is important! Coaches and advisors use the activity registration list to communicate with families and students about practices, games, events, schedules, and any last-minute changes.
If your child is participating but is not registered for that activity in Parent Portal, you may miss important communication from their coach or advisor.
If you need help completing the Activity Registration, please call the school office and one of our secretaries will be happy to assist you. Thank you!
